New Beveler some splitting, fishing, roughing

     Finally got a Bellinger Little Giant Beveler. This thing is awesome. What a time saver. Also did some splitting and roughing while varnish is drying on some rods.

New beveler. Yessss.


Here some pictures of node work. This and straightening are the hardest and most time consuming part of bamboo fly rod building. (In My opinion anyway).

Picture of a node that was sanded after pressing.

The end result in a finished rod.

Half a culm split into 12 strips.

2/1 Rod roughed and ready for heat treat.
